Romanticism, picturesque, Théophile Gautier, Mario Praz, SpainAbstract
Criticism of the picturesque clichés that Theophile Gautier set in the Voyage en Espagne (1843), the book of Mario Praz, Penisola pentagonale (1928), is in the extension of the essay of Miguel de Unamuno, In torno al casticismo (1895), and of the Spanish regenerationist movement. Sensitive, despite appearances to the ironic dimension of Gautier’s Voyage en Espagne, Praz especially denounces the misunderstanding that is set up between readers of the early twentieth century and romantic literature.
